http://www.mxtabs.net/tabs.php?path=Drums,o,3218,The+Offspring,Kill+The+ President,192031 (and I also found a mistake on it, if you know what the song sounds like, you'll know where it is)

I can also play Da Hui, and a lot more. Right now I'm tabbing Hypodermic.

you play with a pick or fingers? I play pick because it was easier to pick up bass that way, plus Greg K does too!

lint

04-09-2005, 03:59 PM

I'm better with my fingers, but I'm trying to learn how to use a pick for all the songs i can play. so far i have Gotta Get Away down with both fingers and a pick. thats really it so far, but i practice a lot, so i'll get them all soon enough. :)

Noodles is gay

04-09-2005, 04:07 PM

oh - tis the complete opposite for me. i play everything with a pick and i'm very slowly learning with fingers. crazy. later :p

on bass, i can pretty much play all of their songs. maybe some i havent heard for a while, i'll need to listen for a minute, but then i got it. as far as that goes i have a pretty good ear.

Drummerguy123

05-31-2005, 11:04 AM

I can play pretty much every Offspring song I've heard. (I still haven't heard Defy you or other songs not on their main 7 c-d's). My favorite are Americana, Nitro (Youth Energy) and Long Way Home.

panzor41

05-31-2005, 11:17 AM

I just started ....I want to learn to play

1. Pretty Fly
2. Cant Repeat

Maybe Bad Habit.

StayInTheHouseCarl

05-31-2005, 11:19 AM

i think for bass, bad habit is the pivotal offspring song to learn.

Drummerguy123

05-31-2005, 11:19 AM

What instrument do you play?

StayInTheHouseCarl

05-31-2005, 11:24 AM

you talking to me, or panzor?
probably panzor, but i can play bass, guitar, and drums. focus on bass.

Drummerguy123

05-31-2005, 11:26 AM

I was talking to you. Focus on drums. Drums are awesome. Drums will eat guitars and basses. I've got blisters on my hands from drumming.

CommonRider

05-31-2005, 11:34 AM

I can only play a couple, Dirty Magic, No Hero, Vultures, Gone Away, and OP. Dirty Magic is easy and tons of fun to play

China Boy

05-31-2005, 12:15 PM

I know various riffs from a whole lot of songs, but in most cases I haven't bothered to learn the whole songs yet. I know the following (on guitar):

Walla Walla
The Kids Aren't Alright (not the solo)
Want You Bad
Cant Get My Head Around You
Gone Away
Hit That (playing the piano thingy on the guitar)
She's Got Issues

That's about it, I'm quite a newbie at guitar, so I mostly play Green Day songs because they are easier (Billie Joe isn't as skilled as Noodles) :p
By the way, do anyone here have a good I Choose Tab. All I have found seem a bit unreliable. If you have one, please post it here, or if it's a Guitar Pro tab, post the link.

Okay, I lied. I am still having trouble playing Hypodermic. It's kind frustrating. Oh, and another one of my favorites to play that I somehow forgot (brainfart, as they say in my city) is Gone Away.

i play most of the newer stuff i dont know all of the names of the songs and im to lazy to look them up yesterday my band played the new song cant repeat and everybody liked it but we are definatly not as good as the offspring. o ya forgot to say i am guitar and vocals for all the songs ive learned

TarachnidX

05-31-2005, 05:37 PM

I have been playing bass for about half a year now and I learned a ton of Offspring songs but I mainly focus on the ones my band plays which are:

Gotta Get Away
Self Esteem
Cool To Hate

Special Delivery
Million Miles Away
The Noose
Can't Get My Head Around U
And we just learned Can't Repeat

That's about it right now, but I'm learning more. :p

Alright, I lied again. I forgot that I've had trouble with the chorus in Lightning Rod. Whatever...

0r4ng3

Drummerguy123

05-31-2005, 09:36 PM

Pay the man has an awesome drum beat. I love playiing that when I'm not in a loud mood. (I don't play it that much. I'm too busy with the Nitro (Youth Energy) beat).

Camilamazed

05-31-2005, 09:36 PM

Cammie can't play a thing :(

Drummerguy123

05-31-2005, 09:40 PM

Aww, I'm sorry. Music is much more fun if you play it yourself. You should try learning the drums. They are easy to pick up on and they are so much fun. Give it a try, I promise you'll like it. ;)

Camilamazed

05-31-2005, 09:40 PM

Aww, I'm sorry. Music is much more fun if you play it yourself. You should try learning the drums. They are easy to pick up on and they are so much fun. Give it a try, I promise you'll like it. ;)

I know I'd love it. Drums and harmonica drive me crazy :D

OffspringInOz

06-01-2005, 01:47 AM

On guitar...(BTW I'm 12 and started guitar last year)

(Can't Get My) Head around you
Amazed
Beheaded
Dirty Magic
Original Prankster
Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)
Gone Away

I know there's more...but can't remember them just now.

Most of the songs when I play them sound pretty crappy though cos I've just got a Marshall 15watt MG DFX amp, which is pretty much just a beginners or practice amp. I think it cost about $350 Australian. Its got all your normal stuff like Distortion, Reverb, chorus, etc...But never sounds very impressive when recorded.

Caz

06-01-2005, 02:47 AM

dude - it's punk music = fucken easy shit, if you can play one song you can play them all... who CAN'T play them all? it's not like theres any particularly different or harder songs, and for bragging rights; i can play them all :)
